‘I have a text on page 17. How can I build an interesting lesson around it?’ This very practical step-by-step workshop looks at the way experienced teachers build effective lessons around what is usually the engine of a Coursebook Unit: the text. We will be aiming to answer questions such as:
® ‘How can I get my students interested in reading the text?’
® ‘How can I get them to engage with it?’
® ‘How can I relate the text to their own experiences?’
® ‘How can I use the text as a springboard to practice other skills such as speaking or writing?’
Now let us see whether I am a good mind-reader: I believe you are thinking to yourself: ‘Do all these things take long to prepare?’ and ‘Will I be able to apply these ideas to a wide range of Listening and Reading texts? The answers are ‘No’ and ‘Yes’.
